I know, I know, it’s about time. BUT…… We finally opened our doors to brush&blush and I can not wait to give you guys the tour and tell you what’s been going on. First of all this,

My beautiful family the night of our grand opening! We were all squinting a little because of the sun, but, you get it!

here are a couple more of my favs!

Women supporting women, nothing better! Aren’t my friends gorgeous?

One of the most hilarious people I know, our manager, Shoshuna.

So now that we are open I’ve been overwhelmed with work. I’m not complaining, I feel incredibly blessed and I’m looking forward to building an empire for my little family. Being a business owner has always been a dream of mine and we are making it happen!

On another note Squeaker is now 20 months old and still not walking. It’s been very tough trying to make a proper plan of action for my little love. Advice comes from every corner, and trying to filter it all and choose the best option for my family is tough. Therapy, no therapy. If she gets therapy, should we do it at school or at home? Should I put her in school full-time to be around other “walking” children more? Is it completely normal? How many specialist can one baby see? I’m grateful that it seems that it is not neurological and the other day she actually held my hand and walked about 20′. I cried like an absolute baby. Nothing feels better than seeing your child reach a milestone. I’ve always watched these movies in the grocery store walking hand-in-hand with their toddlers and thought ‘one day that’ll be us’. Hopefully that day is sooner than later, but for now I am hopeful. All in Gods time I suppose.

Speaking of Squeaker I am trying to plan her 2nd birthday! I know it’s not until November but, I like to find little things on sale early instead of trying to throw it all together last-minute. I think our gift to her will be a “bug girl” room. Not, totally big girl but, ya know, rearrange some thing, make her crib into a toddler bed, pack up baby toys, etc. How long did you mommies wait? Right at 2, or later? I know some people wait until their child is like 5….. and I’m not into that. I’d be willing to wait a bit longer though if 2 is too early.

Oh! I almost forgot! they did a feature on me in Houston Brides magazine! lil ol’ me! Can you believe it? I’ll post a link soon!

With the opening of my baby, Brush and Blush, opening soon, I’ve left you guys high and dry! I am so so sorry and to make it up to you I’m going to very shortly (in less than a week) post my most embarrassing story. Believe me, It’s terrible. Anyway in the meantime I thought I’d announce the make up line we are carrying….. wait for it…. Kevyn Aucoin!

I could not be more excited, you can buy any of the products here…. of course go to shop at the top

But for you lovers, I have listed my favorites.

The Celestial Bronzing veil in Tropical Nights

gorgeous!

Not only is the packaging gorgeous, but it is sooooo easy to blend out. Tropical days is a little light for me which is why I wear Tropical Nights. Now you know how I fake this tan.

Also The Pure Powder Glow.

Shadore, Dolline and Natura are my personal favorites. Shadore is pink, Dolline is a little more peach-y and Natura is perfect for a natural glow if you already have major lips going on. (I asked for it for Mother’s Day)

The Expert Lip Color!

I’m wearing Carliana on my latest Instagram post! Thelmadora is the perfect nude, moisturizing enough that you don’t need a gloss! But of course the glosses are also amazing. If you see anything on the site you want more information about just ask me here! Other than that I hope you have all had a fantastic day and week so far! Be sure to Subscribe!! I love you so much! so so so much!
